Come travel to the Land of the Sweets and let us show you the ballet world's time-honored holiday event that delights audiences of all ages. A cherished Brazos Valley tradition since 2012, our 2026 production of The Nutcracker this December 4-5 marks a dazzling 15th Anniversary Season.
Join Clara as she embarks on a magical journey — from her family’s lavish holiday party, through the glittering Land of Snow, and into the enchanting Kingdom of Sweets, where her dashing Nutcracker Prince takes her on an adventure she will never forget.
This anniversary production will showcase acclaimed guest artists from the New York City Ballet as our Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, alongside a vibrant cast of professional dancers, distinguished guest artists from across Texas, and talented pre-professional performers from the Brazos Valley.
Make it a full holiday experience!
Bring the family early to enjoy Nutcracker Storytime, shop our one-of-a-kind Nutcracker Market, and delight in festive holiday music performed by a live string quartet.
Stay after the performance to capture the magic — snap photos with our lead dancers, guest artists from the New York City Ballet, or at one of our beautiful holiday backdrops.
